A VETERAN FINANCiER.
sketch of the Remarkably Successful c.
reer of Sidney Dillon.

Sketch of the Remarkably Successful Ca
reer of Sidney Dillon.
The fact that Sidney Dillon was one
of the purchasers of the Wheeling &
Erie railroad some weeks ago recalls
attention to financier who has had
an interesting career. He is one of
the most popular of the moneyed pow
ers of this country. He traces his
geneaiogy back to the Huguenots. and
some of his ancestors were Irish. Sid
ney Dillon is tall. well built, with
snow-white hair and whiskers, being
now well advanced in years. He used
to be water-boy on the Mohawk &
Hudson railroad, and worked for one
dollar a week. In after years he rolled
up fortune of sl5. 600. 900, but he lost
heavily by the depreciation in the value
of Union Pacific railroad stock.
After working industriously as boy
for number of years and carefully
saving his money he was able to buy a
horse and cart, and then he carried
water and sand for the railroad. He
was all energy and enterprise, never
letting a chance slip. In a few years
he found himself able to hire or buy a
number of horses and carts, and then
he struck out in larger enterprises.
He gradually secured railroad con-
tracts, which proved very remunera-
tive, and in his thirtieth year, when
he married very estimable lady of
Amherst, Mass, he was in prosperous
circumstances. This lady greatly aided
him by the influence of very superior
nature.
He was at one time president of the
Union Pacific, and was succeeded by
Charles Francis Adams. He has been
= director in the Union Pacific, Pacific
Mail, Western Union, Missouri, Kan
sas & Texas. Delaware, Lackawanna &
Western, Texas Pacific, Manhattan
Elevated and the Mercantile Trust
Company. At one time he had regis
tered in his own name $4,000 shares
of Union Pacific, $1,000 of Western
Union and 10000 of Lackawanna, not
to mention his holdings of other
stocks. He has done valuable service
for Jay Gould. especially in connection
with the Union Pacific years ago. and
the Little Magician" stands by him
to-day. MIR. Dillon's career illustrates
the amazing possibilities open to the
poorest in this country.-Oscar VII.
